The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, has deployed a special crack squad from the Intelligence Response Team to track down and rescue Afenifere Youth Leader, Prince Eniola Ojajuni, who was kidnapped on February 17 while travelling to Abuja.

According to the Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO), ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the IGP has mandated the team to ensure Ojajuni’s safe rescue as quickly as possible.

In a press release issued on Wednesday, Adejobi reassured Nigerians that the police are fully committed to securing Ojajuni’s release by deploying all necessary resources and expertise.

“The IGP commends the bravery and swift action of these gallant officers who have demonstrated their commitment to ensuring the safety and security of citizens,” he stated.

“In the same vein, the IGP has ordered the immediate deployment of the FID Intelligence Response Team to prioritize the safe rescue of Prince Eniola Ojajuni, the Afenifere Youth Leader, who was kidnapped on 17 February 2025 while en route to Abuja.

“The NPF is fully committed to the safe return of Prince Ojajuni and is deploying all necessary resources and expertise to achieve this objective.”

Adejobi, however, urged Nigerians to avoid sharing unverified information about the incident on social media.

“The police urge members of the public to exercise caution and refrain from engaging in social media speculation or sharing unverified information regarding the ongoing rescue efforts.

“Such activities can inadvertently jeopardize the operation and potentially endanger the victim’s safety.

“The Nigeria Police Force will continue to actively pursue and dismantle all criminal elements operating within our communities, with the ultimate goal of establishing peace and safety.”
